More and more organizations are moving away from using the term stakeholder. There are many reasons, but one of the key reasons is to de-colonize language and avoid harm when working with Indigenous communities.

Are there alternative that you are using/ found most useful?

Interesting question - I personally wasn’t aware of this and would be interested in what others have to say!

This question has come up a couple times. Here's one short thread: https://www.projectmanagement.com/discussi...085/stakeholder

If you use the search function, you can de-select everything but discussions and scroll a bit to find others.

Well, A few alternatives that I have used frequently in the past are key actors, affected population, and relevant parties. I personally prefer affected population.
